Destiny 2: Season of the Worthy – Io Seraph Bunker leveling and rewards guide

The third and final Seraph Bunker in Destiny 2: Season of the Worthy is now live and you can find it on Io. Here’s our mini-guide on what you can expect.

Note: If you need help with the basics about Seraph Bunkers, head over to our previous article regarding the EDZ’s activities. For more information about Destiny 2: Season of the Worthy, you can also check out our guides and features hub.

Destiny 2: Season of the Worthy – Io Seraph Bunker guide

Head to The Rupture in Io to find the Seraph Bunker. It’s near the Pyramidion and you can’t miss it. Enter its innermost recesses and you’ll get a short scene with Zavala. You’re shown a holographic map with “pyramid ships” surrounding the system and Zavala finally becomes pals with Rasputin. Who could’ve seen that coming?

Anyway, the Io Seraph Bunker is cleared for today, so let’s talk about the upgrades. The location generally has what you’ve seen before in the EDZ and the Moon. All you need to do is replace the location (or planetary materials) and you’ll basically have the same description. Still, there are some key differences:

• Io Warmind Bits (tier 1) – Gives you encrypted bits when completing the Pit of Heresy dungeon, the Garden of Salvation raid, and the weekly flashpoint challenges.
• Warmind Bit Generation (tier 1) – Seraph Tower events in all destinations now give extra bits — why this wasn’t the EDZ perk at the start of Destiny 2: Season of the Worthy is mind-boggling.
• Warmind Bit Generation (tier 2) – Rasputin’s weekly bounties grant extra bits.
• Warmind Bit Generation (tier 3) – Completing the Reckoning’s encounters, patrols, and public events grant extra bits.

As for the rewards:

• Seventh Seraph CQC-12 shotgun – requires you to unlock a perk after reaching season rank 92
• “Grasp of the Warmind” – generate Warmind Cells with Seventh Seraph weapon kills; Warmind Cells can be picked up and thrown
• “Light from Darkness – generate Warmind Cells with Seventh Seraph weapon kills; become “Charged with Light” by defeating multiple enemies near a Warmind Cell

Lastly, don’t forget that you can cheese to get pinnacle drops for all your characters. The tip comes from Destiny 2 Redditor GreenLego who mentions the following steps:

• Spend Io chipsets on your first character until you hit rank 5; don’t pick up the engram.
• Switch to your second character and hit rank 6; again, don’t pick up the engram.
• Switch to your third character and hit the max rank. You can pick up the engram which is a pinnacle reward.
• Switch to your alts and you should see that they’ve got pinnacle engrams as well.

Io activities, triple Bunker Buster, and the Almighty seal

If you want, you could also check out the Sanctum of Bones legendary lost sector. There’s also the Seraph Tower public event, though I’ve never found any group doing this activity because it’s not the most efficient way of obtaining bits.

Try to head to the EDZ and Moon Seraph Bunkers as well. Io may be clear of enemies today, but you still need to do the daily bunker buster missions for these two locations. Once you’re done, you’ll get the “Algorithm Efficiency” triumph (clear all three Seraph Bunkers in a single day). This is one of the requirements for the “Almighty” seal/title.
